Tray Settings

To change detailed tray settings, tap Settings > Tray Settings and select the tray and options you want on the display screen.

  • Tray 1, MP Tray : You can set the Paper Size and Paper Type.

Options

Scroll through the options by swiping up and down.

  • Auto Tray Switch: Determine whether or not the machine continues printing when it detects the paper does not match. For example, if both tray 1 and tray 2 are filled with the same size paper, the machine automatically prints from tray 2 after the tray 1 runs out of paper.

  • Auto Continue: This option allows you to continue printing when the paper size you have set is mismatched with the paper in the tray. When this option is activated, the machine continues printing using similar or large size paper. If this option is inactivated, the machine waits until the required size paper is loaded in the tray.

  • Paper Substitution: When the requested paper for a print job is not available in the tray, this feature allows you to substitute similar paper size, For example, if the requested letter sized paper is not available in the tray, this machine substitutes A4 for the requested paper.

    [Note]

    When the paper is substituted, some image loss may occur.

  • Tray Confirmation Message: When you load paper into a tray, you can set the confirmation message to appear automatically. This machine can detect some paper sizes and types automatically. If you want to set the paper size and type, or the machine cannot detect them, you can set the size and type directly in the confirmation window.

  • Tray Protection:  If you set tray 1 to On, for example, then tray 1 is excluded during tray switching.

    [Note]

    This setting works for copy or print jobs: It doesn't affect fax jobs.

  • Tray Priority Settings: You can set the tray priority. If first setting is tray 1, the machine automatically prints from tray 1 after the second setting tray runs out of paper.
